Claribel Alegría has been a formidable champion for Central America, continuing the region’s tradition of revolutionary poetry. Born in Nicaragua to Salvadoran parents forced into exile during her infancy for their human rights work, and herself exiled from El Salvador for her powerful poetic dissent, Alegría has unflaggingly spoken for justice and liberty in each of 40 books of poetry, testimony, fiction, and nonfiction. In the poems, her talent, courage, and commitment to freedom emerge most strongly.
